Retaliation
Most laws regarding pay and benefits have anti-retaliation provisions. These provisions make it illegal for an employer to take adverse employment action against you because you:
- File a lawsuit;
- File a complaint with a state or federal agency;
- Cooperate with a government investigation of the employer;
- Make a formal complaint in the company, such as a written complaint to HR;
- Make an informal complaint such as complaining orally to your supervisor.
A lawyer can help you make a complaint regarding pay or benefits in a way that best protects your rights.
Damages can include lost pay, emotional distress, liquidated or punitive damages, attorneys fees, interest, and costs.
